The Meaning Behind The ‘Hope’ Symbol In Easter Celebrations

I had a chat with our Pastor to brainstorm easter sign ideas and phrases that would be suitable. He suggested the word Hope—a perfect fit for the Easter season. As he explained, “The Easter message is: Good Friday—all hope seemingly lost as Christ goes to the cross and dies. Easter Sunday—hope regained as Jesus conquers death and sin through his resurrection.”

Materials Needed For A ‘HOPE’ Easter Sign

Wooden Board: 1″ x 12″ x 4′ Common Board
Wooden Letters: “H,” “P,” and “E” to match the size of your board. (My Letters were hand-cut from MDF)
Small Grapevine Wreath: To serve as the “O” in “HOPE.”
Faux Forsythia Branches: For decorating the wreath (or other faux flowers of choice)
Florist Wire: To secure decorations on the wreath.
Ribbon: For decorating the wreath
Wood Stain or Paint: For finishing the board and letters.
Sandpaper: To smooth the board’s surface.
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks: For attaching decorations.
Nails and Hammer or brand nailer: To affix the wreath to the board.

Step By Step Instructions For Making The Wooden Hope Wreath Sign

Painting And Distressing The Wooden Frame:

Sand the wooden board to remove any rough edges. Optional to leave it distressed for a more farmhouse look.
Apply your chosen stain or paint to the board and letters; allow them to dry completely.

Decorate the Easter Wreath:

Trim the faux forsythia branches into smaller sections.
Bend each branch to match the wreath’s curve.
Secure the branches to the wreath using florist wire, ensuring even distribution.
Optionally, add a ribbon to the wreath in a color that coordinates with your decor.

Creating The Word “Hope” With Wooden Letters:

Arrange the letters “H,” “P,” and “E” on the board, leaving space for the wreath as the “O.”
Attach the letters to the board using the brad nailer or small nails. To make the letters stand off the signboard, I used small blocks of wood as a spacer.
Position the decorated wreath in place of the “O” and secure it by either hanging it on a small hook or nail or, for extra stability, wrapping florist wire around the wreath and nails above and below its position.

Finishing Touches:

For a festive look, consider adding Easter-themed decorations such as bunny ears, small chickens, or a bird’s nest. You can use moss, twine, and spring flowers like tulips and daffodils, easily found at your local craft store, to create vibrant, textured embellishments. Incorporating different colors will give your wreath a cheerful, personalized touch that perfectly captures the essence of the season!

Ideas For Displaying The Sign In Different Areas Of Your Home

The wooden HOPE Easter wreath sign is a versatile piece that can brighten up any area of your home. Lean it in your entryway to welcome guests, display it beside your living room mantel as a festive focal point, or use it to create a vignette in your dining room to complement your Easter table décor. If hanging a wreath on your front door isn’t an option, then this sign makes a charming alternative for your front porch, adding a fresh look to your outdoor space. Its vibrant colours and seasonal details make it a delightful addition wherever you choose to showcase it!

I am often inspired when I read a blog but it isn’t often that I am touched. With your wonderful writing and photographs I am both. I am always so impressed with your creativity and I so enjoyed reading the story behind how you came to crete such a beautiful piece. Thanks for the advice about just picking up the letters at Michaels. Power tools and I are not a good mix!

Virgina – i would love to make this for RELAY 4 LIFE. Can you tell me how you attached the letters and reef?

1. Virginia says:

  Hi Sydney, THe letters are attached with screws going from the back side. There are small wood blocks between the letters and the sign to hold the letters away from the sign. Hope this helps, I’d love to see it when you’re done!

I’m late to the party but oh my goodness I love your hope sign so much! I must make one! Do you mind telling me the height of each letter & the diameter of the wreath? I absolutely love it. You are so talented! I think I’m also going to paint 4 Mason jars and stencil the letters onto each jar into a design that’s similar & give them as gifts. (To be used as vases.) After experiencing a very hard year & my Mom just recently being diagnosed with cancer, it’s the perfect word & ive been trying to figure out how to incorporate more Christ centered easter decor. It is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!

1. Virginia says:

  Thank you so much Kendra. The wreath was 12″ and its now put away but I’d say the letters were approx 10″ high. Your idea sounds great!
